Physio consultation

[Instructor57]

I have just had a 40 minute telephone consultation with the sports physio , he is also a multi marathon runner .

From our conversation, he is almost certain that my problem is not a hip problem.

That was my biggest fear .

He feels it is a strength issue with the area.

So weak muscles that are tight and iritating the sciatic nerve .

I will go and see him next Tuesday for a hands on assessment and a tailor made strengthening program .

He is also happy for me to continue running .

So, I will now hopefully be a bit more relaxed when I run .

I have been that tence recently since I injured myself that it took a lot of the pleasure out of it .

At least now I am reasured we can probably sort this out .

So, here's to week 9 run 3 !!!

Ian, that is such good news! You must be so relieved. I’m so pleased for you! So - you can safely do your Graduation run 👏👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

It's an incredible relief !

It had completely taken the shine off things to be honest.

But at least now , even if i have discomfort, i won't have the same fear.

I have been very tence on my last few runs and that probably made the situation worse .

Oh, and by the way , the James dunne videos I suggested to you , well this guy is very familiar with him and said his rehab courses/videos are excellent

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I’m sure it didn’t help, you would have been moving differently.

I forgot to mention that I have looked at a few of them and have incorporated his dynamic stretches into my routine!

Thanks for that !

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Yes, absolutely moving differently.

Im sure I will probably still be a bit clunky for a while , I'll have to keep reminding myself .

Oh, that's great !

Hope they help 😬👍

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

They definitely helped yesterday! It’s just a question of allowing a bit of extra time in the early morning! I didn’t do as many as he does, I reduced the number of repeats by about half. I’ll increase gradually.

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Good news about James Dunne, I found him a couple of months ago and I watch his videos like a real geek now!

This is excellent news. Without the worry of worsening injury you can take on the graduation run with confidence. Hope it goes well.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 61Lady]

Thank you !

It's a huge relief

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

You can now run without worrying and your face to face appt will further put your mind at rest!

1 run left! You got this superstar! 👏👏⭐️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Thank you Jane ,

I now hope I can relax more on my run ,🙂

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I’m sure you will ... you’ve been worried sub consciously but this sounds very positive!

Can’t wait to read your graduation post Mister but no pressure! As and when you’re ready 👏👏

[PlymBorn]

Fantastic news ! ... as you say, your mind is put to rest and you seem to have a diagnosis and a potential way forward .... and you can now think forward to that mere 30 minutes you have to run to graduate !

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Absolutely !

I can hopefully enjoy the 30 minutes even with some discomfort

[Weddingrunner]

Really good news!! Off you go for the final run. All the best- you can do it!!! 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Absolutely, it was only the injury that was a concern 👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

What a relief for you!!

Now you can relax and enjoy your graduation run - you will smash it I'm sure 😁💪🏃‍♂️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you ! 😬

[Roxdog Graduate]

That sounds like good news! So you can enjoy whatever exercises he gives you, knowing they will make you a stronger runner! At least you can trust your body a bit more now and as you say,relax into the run.

I find myself making little adjustments to my posture a lot more after my injury, but it keeps me alert to what's going on so I feel in control. That makes the whole thing more positive.

Good luck next week, but in the meantime, maybe you're going to do that final run?

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes I certainly will be more relaxed .

I think it has made me quite tence the last few runs .

It's taken the enjoyment from them .

So hopefully I can relax more for this final one 😁
